Whats wrong with sociology ?

retards who know nothing about it complain about it mostly

>>2594045

Their interpretation of social reality boils down to "evil whitey".

But they don't see the fundamental material and economics systems behind social order.

You learn at lot more about "sociology" if you look at the logistical systems that bring resources to the US and how they're distributed to the population.

I'm led to understand that during Weber's time it was a fairly interesting subject.

These days though it's one of the few areas where /pol/ memes are absolutely right: An intensely ideological left-wing discourse masquerading as an academic discipline.

"My objection against the whole of sociology in England and France remains that it knows from experience only the forms of social decay, and with perfect innocence accepts its own instincts of decay as the norm of sociological value-judgments. The decline of life, the decrease in the power to organize — that is, to separate, tear open clefts, subordinate and superordinate — all this has been formulated as the ideal in contemporary sociology. Our socialists are decadent"

I took into sociology last year and I didn't hear anything that people online like to say it is.

Is it all memes made by people who never went to college?

>>2594186

If you go to community college/undergraduate courses, you'd understand how pathological it can be.

I think it really depends on the professor. Most of the posters itt have probably been in contact with left leaning ones.
As a law student i had one sociology (and 2 history) course(s).
The professor was very right wing. He outright told us a few days before the elections: "Are you going to vote? I hope you all go, as future lawyers and judges you should exercise your right to vote. A bit of advice. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. However i will plead that you don't vote for any kind of left wing party." He then listed all the right and center political parties and told us to get informed about their policies.

>>2594186
I took an anthropology course and was surprised at how unsubversive it was. No kill whitey, just a look at communal relations in basque villages

>>2594045
I took sociology 12 years ago as a freshman. Professor was an ex benedictine monk. He was the worst public speaker I've ever seen. He would literally shake while he struggled to read verbatim lecture notes to us in this high pitched crackly voice. He constantly shilled his book about the Catholic church's pedophile scandal. The class was easy to pass, but attendance was MANDATORY. Since he emailed his lecture notes after class, I'd just do other classwork while he stuttered along. Easy A.

>>2594197

I did, it was a community college intro sociology coarse. Professor was a large black women from the city. If anything it was the opposite of what people said it was, it was mostly just about sociology and not opinions of the professor.

She could have been described as lefty, sure, but she also said that we shouldn't take in refugees until we sorted out our own problems here and that she didn't have a problem with the confederate flag. But the class was not about her opinions so discussions about what she personally thought was rare.

She liked to hear about our opinions though.

I took intro to sociology last year too. And it was nothing but SJW whining and "gender is a social construct" as well as " muh evil whitey". It was shameful.

>>2594045
It is a "science" that relies on answers ripe with variables. For example, a survey of 500 people (hardly a number worthy of drawing any conclusion) turns up with a majority of the survey saying they are against feminism. In order for the survey to be thoroughly conclusive, each individual needs to be questioned to ensure that all answers within the affirmative are in the affirmative for the same reason. Thing is, everyone is different. The survey already can't be used for any sort of conclusion cause the number of people questioned was so low. The best sociology can do is draw patterns and even then those patterns can hardly be depended on. I just think it's a lazy and poor branch of psychology.

>>2594045
It started out as simply studying society, humans on a mass group scale.

It's become an ideological thought-factory now. It's obvious. Any 'study' that can't handle rational debate should just GTFO.

>>2594203
Anthropology is less ideologically infiltrated. Depends on the country and uni, I guess. I took a semester of undergrad anthro before I switched to something employable. It was also not lefty at all. I mean, the profs were clearly mostly liberal-leaning, but moderate and honestly seemed to transcend politics, aware that it was all a masquerade.

>>2594045
It's not based on hard science.

do people really believe gender is a social construct

The best bench press in history by a woman is 600lb (and that was with the use of multi-ply, unlimited equipment)


the best bench press by a male in history (RAW) that means no equipment at all is 736lb

>>2594510
>a survey of 500 people (hardly a number worthy of drawing any conclusion)
The standard size is 1000-2000 people, and earlier attempts at surveys with huge masses of people have shown that a huge mass of surveyed people is inferior to a smaller, but well-controlled sample.

>It is a "science" that relies on answers ripe with variables.
As is any subject studying chaotic systems, such as epidemiology. Soft sciences are still sciences, no matter how much you hate them. They may have less precision due to studying a more complex subject matter than, say, physics, but this can be compensated by reproducibility.

> I just think it's a lazy and poor branch of psychology.
Then you don't know what either are.

>>2594598
not trying to be a SJW but gender is not the same as biological sex.

for example you can be a tranny and consider yourself a "woman" but continue to be "male" (AKA born with a dick)

>>2594602

im pretty sure General Relativity is more complex than anything Sociology talks about

Complexity in this context refers to how well the variables can be controlled, not how complex the subject matter is.

I didnt say anything about biological sex influencing gender identity or not (nor did I say trans had mental issues or not).

Im saying that sex is you have dick = male you have vagina = female. But gender as a social construct is more like you wear dresses, you use makeup, you play with barbies = you girl.

Im not saying I agree or disagree with that theory, im just saying that in theory sex and gender are not the same (thus you can be male and woman at the same time).

>>2594639
The problem with SJW and the vocal trannie activists is that they conflate biological sex and gender. Everyone agrees that gender expression, while being based on biology, has a cultural component that you can call "social construct". But trannies constantly use gender to refer to sex. Transgender itself is a confusion of the terms. It refer to people who feel they belong to a different sex than their body is, not a different gender. Otherwise nobody would need surgery, merely behaviour adaption. This is pervasive and hurts the cause of people who legitimately suffer from gender dysphoria, which is to say sex dysphoria.

>>2594602
This man is right. Everybody who disagrees is memeing.

>>2595033
Not the same anon you're replying to, but I first started learning about the trans community, transgender and transexual were both accepted terms, usually with transexual being resreved for those who actually were planning, or had already, had surgery to change their sex. I think the fact that the term transexual fell out of vogue is one of the main reasons we have all these others "new" genders popping up--all the so-called Tumblr types and the like. These people wish to play with gender expression, which is not a terrible thing, but they have no real desire to change their physical bodies in order to do so. I think that difference of needing to change the physical body is what makes all the difference.

>>2595848

I wouldn't say changing the body is bad either. I think we just need more healthy attitudes about it, including from the people doing it themselves.

I like dick-girls, is what I'm saying.

>>2595958
I didn't mean to imply that physically altering the body is a bad thing either, I just feel there ought to be a distinction.

I like dick-girls too, man, who doesn't on this site?

Those are gender roles dipshit. Gender still == sex

>>2594045
>that image
if gender isn't a social construct then why are genders so different among different societies?

>>2594664
Not really. People are complex niggers, even niggers.

While >>2594602 is basically right, I have seen a trend towards the left over the years (I attend a large public school in the US, so my understanding is obviously biased).

From what I've heard from a PhD candidate, there are two main types of sociologists, those that are activists and those that aren't. Because sociology tends to study social problems in society, it tends to attract cultural liberals, or make liberals out of its students. Not always, but generally. Even so, some sociologists still keep right-wing views. The distinction between the activists and non-activists is mostly as regards their personal lives. The activists spend a lot of time going to rallies, pushing for certain workplace policies, and even (occasionally) publishing works advocating action, though these are hard to publish. The non-activists, even if they're liberal, don't see it as their job to change the world, at least beyond the research they do. It's just that simple.

Two other notes. First, even the activist sociologists are a thousand times better than a member of a Gender and Women's Studies Department. They're better informed, and more attuned to real problems. The one I know, for example, considers bathrooms a non-issue because we could see the collapse of the healthcare system. Second, "marxism" in sociology is distinct from "marxism" in economics, political science, or literature. Marxist sociologists can be raging conservatives.

that's a simplistic first-level approximation of how gender operates. but it's one step. better than how most cis people understand it.

>>2596344
"Scholars use the concept of gender to denote the percieved differences and ideas about women and men, male and female. Fundamental to the definition of the term 'gender' is the idea that these differences are socially constructed. What it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman, the definitions or understandings of masculinity and femininity, the characteristics of male and female identities -- all are the products of culture"

>>2594045
Just sending by definition gender is the socially constructed parts of the male and female identity. Sex is the purely physical parts. And obviously the two are very closely linked, but not everything that we think is male or female has a biological component. Some parts of it really are socially contructed.

Imagine a group of the most pretentious, smug and insufferable liberal arts students are locked in an airtight room, huffing each others farts for two weeks straight until they suddenly decide they're all totes scientists, and come out with a bunch of unreplicable, contrarian pseudo scientific nonsense that just coincidentally happens to validate all their invalid, naive personal politics.

It's abnormal. It's bad for the long term projections of a societies birthrate, forcing a reliance on immigration and therefore a lack of social cohesion.

Exactly this. Gender is the behaviour associated with a certain sex, wearing a dress or whatever is entirely based around culture.

Gendered behaviour can be observed from birth, and it matches up with sex for 99.8% of the population.

>Gender is the differences between the sexes

The sexes are intrinsically different. Being born with balls or alternatively a vagina and having wildly different chemical makeups tend to do that. Gender is a corollary to that. Having those chemicals means that on a fundamental level-we do not perceive, react, or feel in the same way. Sexes are different. Gender is different. Sex is supposed to be physical and gender cultural, but the cultural markers are insignificant compared to the sexual markers/differences.

You want a source? Look up number of "hate crimes" in America, then look them up in Japan. Which do you think is higher in proportional and total amounts?

America in both, I would reckon. Now consider this-which culture actively promotes diversity? Is it Japan? No, it's America. But it still is doing significantly worse.

You could piece the argument together for yourself- but I understand it's impossible to fight against. Homogeneous societies are superior in crime rates and social cohesion. There is less sense of revanchism.

If I say Asians will, with any sufficiently sized sample, outperform Bantu-African's, will you agree that it is part cultural, and largely biological or no?

You can't expect different cultures to have the same standards towards respect/etiquette.

If you grow up in a home where calling someone a faggot is commonplace, then you'll probably call people a faggot.
If you grow up in a place that glorifies crime, you'll probably be a criminal.
The internet isn't a monocultural place, there's lots of different people with lots of different cultures. Don't push your own standards onto other people because that's just telling them that the way they were raised and the way that they think are wrong.

Gender identity is an artificial concept created to justify mental illness. There was no such thing as "gender identity" before it was invented in the 20th century.

>>2596465
But that's not true, that's the opinion of a fringe that has asserted their ideals into the elite social class.

>>2594598
>do people really believe gender is a social construct
It technically is, but it's not something you can just will away because like almost everything about our society it ties back into some underlying physical or biological process. Gender roles are based on the realities of physical sex, but they aren't the same thing as physical sex.

>>2594045
appearently according to sociology

gender = gender roles != sex

basically sex is biological while gender is just shortening of gender roles

His really has gone down hill it seems.

Sociology was hijacked by New Left demonstrators who became professors from the 60's, and it created a political legacy which now lingers. It was and could in theory be a useful discipline, but the shakiness of political "science" has led to the rule of political fakirs who are able to drive enrolment without performing anything resembling science.

It's not as overtly bad as claimed. But you must realize, you are paying to memorize unverified theories and all the associated baggage without anything demonstrable to show for it.

Literally just another thing ruined by Marxists.

The longstanding issue with identity politics is that they exist as a defensive measure. The topic is complex, with those in power creating issues for those of various race, religion, etc. In the long run most people don't really want these concepts to exist with the WE ARE ONE PEOPLE meme to finally take control. It's true after all

I did a sociology of genetics unit and developed a tight and well-researched argument about the large scale ethics of genetic modification. It was great fun.

It's not all about gender.

Sociology minor here.

The entire thing is just applying theories to social interactions on a group level to try and figure it out.

Protip: The two most used viewpoints are gender theories and Marx' idea of the class struggle.

>class struggle
Why? Isn't it obvious, if you look at Scandinavian countries, that class struggle has become void as an explanation for historical progress? The only struggle in these countries are cultural struggles.

I am from Sweden, I would know, class is a real thing, and so is class struggle, although not a serious threat.

>>2602361
There is no proletariat in Sweden. I would know, I'm from Sweden. Sure the cultural struggle could turn into a class struggle, since we are importing a shitton of people who eventually will make up a proletariat.

Klart det finns.

Depends on the institution and the professor, but most is broadly fine.

Ultra-right wingers tend to get triggered by it because most of the field goes against beliefs they tend to hold. The same way utra-left wingers get triggered by economics.

Most social sciences often deal with issues that are too politicised for people to discuss the field objectively. And of course it is difficult for those within the field to discuss it objectively because they're devoting their lives to it.

Both are biologically determined
But aren't always the same and do rely on social constructs

Sex is based on your xx xy chromosomes and even then there is some degree of construct in that what do you say about intersex etc?

Gender is the degree to which the brain was masculinized during a special period that can only occur in the womb, with rats it occurs outside the womb so they were actually able to test this by flooding the brains of biofemale rates with androgens during this period and they went on to show typically male social characteristics later on like humping female rats and vice versa

Everyone is on a spectrum of how masculine/feminine their brains are even normal people

Transsexuality and homosexuality are just neurological defects that occur in the womb

>>2594186
I had a professor who called herself a radical feminist and always tried to tell us that women were better sociologists and anthropologists because she believes modern-day Western women can easily connect to ancient pottery shards and cooking vessels. I didn't hear anything about hating whites from her, though. I heard from a female professor that the Ottoman enslavement, forced conversion, and impressment of white Christians from the Balkans into the Sultan's slave army was a good thing because they learned how to read and the top .001% became administrators.

Also to answer your question, it's mostly memes.

>>2594203
Most /pol/ memes about liberal arts being commie fields are bullshit. I've been shitposting on this website since I was 14 years old and went into university expecting the worst and was literally blown away by how overblown the liberal academia boogeyman was. "Marxism" or whatever /pol/ says makes higher education illegitimate has pretty much died out, atleast in my experience.

That being said, if you were going to find any holdover hardcore socialists, it would probably be in Sociology.

Jontron drank the /pol/-koolaid too much and went full retard live. The last thing he said was

>>2604223
It's too bad Destiny crashed and burned just as bad as Jontron did here in his debate with Sargon shortly afterwards.

>>2596580

Pretty much. It's basically a field that studies the human social scripts in every meaning of the word without methodological rigor so of course it's going to be wildly different depending on the faculty. I major on it, but trying to switch to economics since none of the professors in my current uni use anything but qualitative methods.

>>2604240

I didn't see that one, but I doubt either of those guys said something as dumb as when Jontron brought up Africa.

Jon was just overzealous without deeper research, and got rek'd by destiny just because his autistic fans do research while he is streaming for him.

anthro classes are a weird exception to the humanities-meme. I had to take this intro to phys anthro class and it was surprisingly pretty science heavy. Lots of shit about genetics and a fair amount of anatomy both primate and human.

sociology is a different animal though

I honestly believe that all the meme's about sociology comes from 1) people who didn't attend universities or 2) people who attended such bad universities they shouldn't be called universities. I've seen the "homework" American students get in sociology classes, where you're asked to watch films and shit.

No wonder Americans thrive in anti-intellectualism when the bar is set so low you can roll over it.

>>2594186
I went to a community college and took several Phil. classes, as well as 2 sociology classes. They where all completely fine. Its the fact that gender studies is forced on people as a requirement these days is why people are so shitty.

>>2594203
Lucky you, my Anthropology professor was a ranting hippy who constantly turned every class into complaining about "the man" and western capitalism.

It's a shame because I find the actual subject quite interesting.

The demographic collapse in the west has been happening for a long time and it won't be exacerbated because an absolutely minuscule portion of the population decides to sterilize themselves.
